Position Details:

Location: Redwood City, CA (Hybrid Remote/2-3 days onsite)

Type: 6 Month Contract (Extension Possible)

US Citizen, Green Card, H4 Visa, TN Visas are acceptable


POSITION SUMMARY

We are seeking a motivated and detail-oriented entry-level scientist to support curation and standardization of experimental assay data stored within an internal LIMS database. A successful candidate will review existing records, apply a consistent and pre-defined naming scheme, and work directly with scientists to resolve ambiguous or undocumented experimental information.

This is a highly collaborative, data-intensive role that requires a strong background in both laboratory science and data cleaning practices. An ideal candidate has hands-on or coursework exposure to biochemistry or molecular biology, is comfortable working with spreadsheets and databases, is detail-oriented, and communicates clearly and proactively.


RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Audit existing experimental records and identify inconsistencies, ambiguities, and duplications.
  • Flag records where information is missing, inconsistent, or requires scientific interpretation.
  • Apply pre-defined standards to an existing experimental database.
  • Translate informal lab terminology into standardized database entries.
  • Connect with scientists to clarify ambiguous pre-existing experimental information stored in the database.
  • Maintain a change log of all modifications made to existing records.
  • Assist in drafting a central style guide for data schema and data entry.
  • Participate in periodic reviews with the data sciences and lab teams to refine or create new data entry schema.


QUALIFICATIONS

  • a Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Chemical Biology, Bioengineering, Protein Engineering, or a closely related field
  • Strong written and oral communication skills
  • Strong record-keeping and organizational skills
  • Familiarity with common molecular biology principles and laboratory techniques (e.g., mutagenesis, cloning, and transformation)
  • Familiarity with common protein biochemistry principles and laboratory techniques (e.g., protein expression, purification, and characterization)


PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Familiarity with relational databases, Excel, or basic data querying (SQL or similar)
  • Exposure to electronic lab notebooks (ELNs) or LIMS platforms
  • Exposure to analytical instrumentation such as HPLC, LC-MS, fluorescence plate readers, or gel-based assays
  • Basic knowledge of protein structure-function relationships and mutation nomenclature
  • An understanding of directed evolution workflows
  • Basic experience generating or editing Python/R Scripts


WORK ENVIRONMENT

This is primarily a desk-based role. The candidate will work closely with both the bioinformatics team and the laboratory team and is expected to be comfortable moving between scientific and data-oriented conversations. Occasional visits to the lab to observe assay setups or review physical lab notebooks may be required.
